Digital Journal interviewed the protest organiser, Alex Morales of the United Voice union.

“We’re here because cleaners in shopping centres - they only earn $17 an hour. And obviously cleaners are asking for more money and better conditions, like job security.” Mr Morales told Digital Journal.

“Every time a new company comes in they can lose their jobs.

“The Commonwealth Bank is one of the biggest owners of shopping centres in Australia. So we are asking the Commonwealth Bank to give cleaners a fair go and give them proper wages, better conditions, job security. That’s why we’re protesting here today.”

According to the United Voice website, they are an organization of over 120,000 workers. It is one of Australia’s oldest and largest unions.
